Meet the Doctors
Meet Dr. Matt Thompson
Dr. Matt was introduced to chiropractic care at a young age; he comes from a long line of chiropractors.. Although you may assume that it was just in the blood, Dr. Matt came to truly appreciate the practice through personal experience. As an athlete in high school, he became very familiar with injury. Doctors prescribed easy-fix drugs and stretches that never seemed to stick. After he finally saw a chiropractor following a specific incident, a spinal fracture was quickly identified and addressed through natural care. He was then able to continue to be active, something he still enjoys pain-free today!
After attending N.C. State, Dr. Matt Thompson obtained his doctorate of chiropractic degree from Life University alongside his wife and partner, Dr. Jessica Thompson, in 2007. Education took him from the pain model to the brain model, meaning he finally understood that to truly heal the body, pressure needed to be removed from the nervous system.
Dr. Matt has always been an active servant in his community. He volunteers in many areas of his community, such as volunteering at his church, as well as currently sitting as the NC Chiropractic Association board secretary, JoCo Board of Health, JoCo Child Fatality Prevention Team, and the national Governmental Affairs committee for the Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan.
Meet Dr. Jessica Thompson
Dr. Jessica Thompson is a third-generation chiropractor with a lifelong connection to chiropractic care. She grew up in the office, helping out as early as age 12, and was immersed in conversations about health, healing, and the body’s incredible ability to recover when properly supported. Through her own experience, rarely getting sick and quickly bouncing back from sports-related injuries, she saw firsthand the powerful impact chiropractic care can have on overall health and resilience.
Dr. Jessica carried that passion into adulthood, competing as a college basketball player during her undergraduate years. Athletics deepened her appreciation for movement, recovery, and performance, and reinforced her belief that the body functions best when it is aligned and supported.
She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in 2007, where she further developed her commitment to living with purpose and continual growth, both personally and professionally. Today, Dr. Jessica serves patients as a practicing chiropractor while also overseeing the business operations of Align Family Chiropractic.
Outside of the office, Dr. Jessica enjoys life with her four children and has a heart for mentoring women in both spiritual and physical health. She is deeply passionate about helping people heal emotionally, physically, and spiritually, and that passion continues to motivate and guide her work every day.
Aligning Our Community
Drs. Matt and Jessica are proud parents of four children and understand firsthand the joys and challenges of raising a family. They know that while parenting comes with stress, having a healthy, well-functioning family makes that stress far more manageable. Outside the office, they enjoy spending time outdoors with their children and staying actively involved in their community, always looking for ways to give back.
Their chiropractic journey began in Michigan, where they worked alongside Dr. Jessica’s family and gained valuable experience in delivering excellent care while learning the foundations of running a successful practice. After four years, they felt called to move west to Colorado, where they opened their own family-centered chiropractic practice in Denver. There, they built a thriving office and were consistently recognized as the area’s leading family chiropractic practice.
Today, Drs. Matt and Jessica are excited to bring their passion and experience to North Carolina—Dr. Matt’s home state, where they have opened a practice dedicated to serving families. Since opening in 2018, Align has been recognized as the BEST FAMILY CHIROPRACTOR IN JOHNSTON COUNTY 4 times, and BUSINESS OF THE YEAR. They look forward to empowering this community through their practice, supporting healthier families, and helping raise the next generation of leaders.
